Horse Safaris South Africa

Most horse riders and lovers across the globe love the idea of riding amongst South Africa’s big five. Even for those who do not consider themselves to be terribly strong riders, many horse safaris in South Africa provide one of the ultimate game-viewing experiences to be had in the country. Few other game-viewing options provide a way of getting off the road and into the bush where you can quietly snap photographs of game only meters away. There are many South African horse safaris available across the country. If you can ride or enjoy the company of these exquisite animals, we suggest you get in contact with your travel agent to make arrangements.

Horse Export Ban to be Lifted

Things are brighter for the South African horse racing industry as a two year ban imposed by the European Union (EU) may be lifted by the end of the month. The ban was imposed following an outbreak of African Horse Sickness (AHS), which is a deadly horse disease unique to the continent, in a surveillance zone in the Western Cape. It is spread by midges and can spread quite rapidly causing widespread death of stock. However the measures have been taken to create a controlled area which has remained free of AHS over the last two years.
